How complete is EveryJaadu?
Nobody has a full list of the world's magic. Much of it is local, much has a dozen names, and much is closed to outsiders and was never meant to be written down. So EveryJaadu shows its working.
Where the list comes from
Items that Wikidata classes under magic, witchcraft, divination, amulets, spirits and folk belief and that have an English Wikipedia article; articles in Wikipedia's categories on these subjects; and our own list of the traditions, rites and places each region is known for, so that small traditions are not crowded out by large ones.
